Welcome HopSing. Sorry about the loss of your father. Been there. Jimmy had good advice about the diesel. Once algae starts to grow in diesel it takes a lot of work or someone with the right filtering equipment to get it back in good shape again. If you are near a coastal marina, there may be companies that will come out and finish/polish the fuel a lot cheaper than draining it out, cleaning out the tanks, and replacing the fuel. I got a tank of bad fuel at a truck stop a number of years ago and had to do the same thing in Newport Beach, CA after a stop to change out the fuel filters in Yuma.
Some of the Newells of that era used a Kohler generator. My 1992 has the Kohler generator with a 4 cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. A Detroit Diesel 6V92 would be common engine for that time frame although some Newells were using the Cummins 903.
We would love to see photos of the old girl.
